The Aleppo Codex

Before us is the story of a unique Jewish Bible from the tenth century, which was used by Maimonides himself.

Journalist Matti Friedman of the Associated Press gathered numerous documents and eyewitness accounts and proposed an original version of what happened to this manuscript when a mob of rioters threw it out of the burned synagogue in Aleppo and it ended up in the newly formed State of Israel.

Where did the hundreds of pages of the sacred text, which have immense spiritual and material value, go? Were they destroyed by the rioters? Stolen by immigration service officials in Israel? The author offers unexpected answers to these and many other questions.
